The Alexandra Hotel Turin *** is a medium-sized hotel housed in a modern seven-storey building. From our sun-terrace one can enjoy an impressive view of the Western Alps, including the Monviso Peak - worldwide known as the Paramount Pictures' trademark - the eastern hills and the city's baroque rooftops, following the winding path of the river Dora. The hotel is just a short walk from the downtown shopping area and pedestrian precincts, the Cathedral, the Holy Shroud Chapel with its dome top by Lorenzo Guarini, the Royal Palace and Gardens, and the "Consolata" and "Ausiliatrice" sanctuaries. Among other interesting places in the surroundings of the Hotel you will find the Cottolengo Citadel, the old Arsenal, the new Cinema Museum housed in the Mole Antonelliana (by itself the landmark of Turin skyline) and the old town district whose narrow, magic evoking streets hide quite a number of fashionable and trendy restaurants, coffee and wine bars. A two minute walk from our hotel will bring you to the Balôn flea market (weekly on Saturday) and, on the second Sunday every month, the Gran Balôn antiques market. The hotel is a ten-minute bus or tram ride away from the Porta Nuova and Porta Susa railway stations, and Dora station (just 3 minutes away by Taxi cab) provides a rapid transit link to Caselle Airport, about 15 minutes time.
